tag An annotation used to identify elements in a drawing. Tags provide a way to automate the display of
attributes for an element or type. Revit Architecture provides default tags for some types of elements, such
as windows, doors, and rooms. You can change the information displayed in tags, and you can create labels
to add information to tags. You can also control the visibility of tags in each view. For more information,
see
Tags on page 1123.
For example, the following floor plan shows a door tag and a room tag.
tangent A line that passes through the same point as a curve, in the same direction as the curve.
tape measure A long, flexible ruler (often made of cloth, plastic, or metal) used for measuring.
In Revit Architecture, you can use the Measure tool to measure between points in a drawing or to measure
the length of an element. See
Measuring Elements on page 405.
target point The point in the distance at which a camera is aimed or directed. See camera on page 1460.
template A collection of settings that you can use as a starting point for projects, families, views, and more.
See Creating a Custom Project Template on page 445 and View Templates on page 507. For information about
family templates, see The Families Guide on page 418.
temporary dimension A dimension that Revit Architecture displays as you draw or place elements in a
view. Temporary dimensions can help you to position an element in the desired location, or to draw a line
to the desired length or angle. When you finish drawing or placing an element, temporary dimensions no
longer display.
Compare with permanent dimension on page 1516. See also listening dimensions on page 1500. For more
information, see Temporary Dimensions on page 263.
The following image shows temporary dimensions that display as you place a window in a wall.
